Introduction

The PPC-123 panel PC is a multimedia Celeron™ processor-based computer that is designed to serve as a human machine interface

(HMI) and as a desktop computer. It is a PC-based system with

12.1" color TFT LCD display, on-board PCI Ethernet controller, multi-COM port interfaces and a 16-bit stereo audio controller.

With built-in CD-ROM drive, floppy drive and PCMCIA expansion sockets, the PPC-123 is as compact and user-friendly as a notebook computer. Unlike notebook computers however, the

PPC-123 is more durable and versatile in all applications. The panel PC can be placed on a desktop to replace the traditional desktop computer. In addition, its "fit anywhere" design makes it very flexible and able to be used in many different kinds of installations. It can be wall mounted, panel mounted or stood upright on a desktop.

For system integrators, this simple, complete, compact and highly integrated multimedia system lets you easily build a panel PC into your applications. Common industrial applications include factory automation systems, precision machinery, and production process control. It is also suitable for many non-industrial applications, including interactive kiosk systems, entertainment management, and car park automation. Our panel PC is a reliable, cost-effective solution to your application's processing requirements.

2.4

Running the BIOS Setup Program

Your panel PC is likely to have been properly set up and configured by your dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the panel PC's BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup program to change system configuration information, such as the current date and time or your type of hard drive. The setup program is stored in readonly memory (ROM). It can be accessed either when you turn on or reset the panel PC, by pressing the "Del" key on your keyboard immediately after powering on the computer.

The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in a special area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery so that it will not be erased when you turn off or reset the system. Whenever you turn on the power, the system reads the settings stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to the equipment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup program.

If you want to change the setup of BIOS, refer to Chapter 9 for more detailed information.

Chapter 2 System Setup

2.5

Installing System Software

Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup programs which load automatically and guide you through hard disk preparation and operating system installation. The guidelines below will help you determine the steps necessary to install your operating system on the panel PC hard drive.

Note: Some distributors and system integrators may have already pre-installed system software prior to shipment of your panel PC.

If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette into the diskette drive until the release button pops out. (See Fig. 3-1.)

The BIOS of the panel PC supports system boot-up directly from the

CD-ROM drive. You may also insert your system installation

CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. (See Fig. 3-2.) Refer to Chapter 9 if you wish to change the BIOS settings.

Power on your panel PC or reset the system by pressing the

"Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys simultaneously. The panel PC will automatically load the operating system from the diskette or CD-ROM.

If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation program, follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide you through preparation of your hard drive, and installation of the operating system.

If you are presented with an operating system command prompt, such as A:\>, then you must partition and format your hard drive, and manually copy the operating system files to it. Refer to your operating system user's manual for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard drive.

Jumpers and Connectors

5.1.1 Setting jumpers

You can configure your panel PC to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them.

To “close” a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or pins 2 and 3.

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.

If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.

VGA Interface

The panel PC's AGP VGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays. It is also capable of driving a wide range of flat panel displays, including electroluminescent (EL), gas plasma, passive LCD and active LCD displays. The board has two connectors to support these displays simultaneously: one for standard CRT VGA monitors, and one for flat panel displays.

CRT display port information can be found in Section 3.9 this manual.

Pin assignments for the flat panel display connector, backlight connector and other related connectors are shown in Appendix D.

5.6.1 LCD panel power setting

The panel PC's AGP SVGA interface supports 5 V and 3.3 V LCD displays. The LCD cable already has a built-in default setting. You do not need to adjust any jumper or switch to select the panel power.

5.6.2 Panel type select (SW1)

SW1 is a 4-pin dip switch for selecting panel type and display mode.

A 800 x 600 TFT LCD is used in the PPC-123, so the switch is preset according to the table below. The switch is already defaulted for the

PPC-123's LCD, so it should not be modified. If you require modification for a special purpose, we recommend that you consult your distributor or our sales repreentative for detailed information.

This chapter describes how to set BIOS configuration data.

9.1

Award BIOS Setup

The PPC-123 comes with an Award BIOS chip that contains the ROM setup for your system. This chip serves as an interface between the processor and the rest of the mainboard's components. This chapter explains the information contained in the setup program and tells you how to modify the settings according to your system configuration.

Some setup items will not be explained, because it is recommended that users do not change such items.

Note: Values for the various setup items that appear on your own screen (including default values) may not be the same as the values shown on the screen figures in this chapter. This is because the BIOS is revised and updated from time to time. If in doubt, check

Advantech's web site for the latest BIOS versions and related information.

A setup program, built into the system BIOS, is stored in the CMOS

RAM that allows the configuration settings to be changed. This program is executed when the user changes the system configuration; when the user changes the system backup battery; or when the system detects a configuration error and asks the user to run the setup program. At power-on RAM testing, the message "Press DEL to enter Setup" appears. After pressing the "DEL" key, the CMOS setup utility screen will appear as shown in Fig. 9-1. Use the arrow keys to select and press "Enter" to run the selected program.

2. Attach the holding plate of the stand to the inside of the rear cover of the panel PC using the five screws provided. (See Fig. E-3.)

3. Reattach the rear cover of the panel PC.

4. Attach the main body of the stand to the rear cover of the panel PC using the four screws provided.

5. Slide the main body of the stand into the stand base. Tighten it with the two screws provided.

6. Attach the rear cover of the stand to the main body of the stand by snapping the lugs of the rear cover into the slots of the main body.

When the rear cover locks into place, you will hear a click.

7. Attach the top cover of the stand to the main body of the stand by snapping the lugs of the top cover into the slots of the main body.

The cover must be rotated as it is snapped into place. When the top cover locks into place, you will hear a click.

Note: The base of the stand has two plastic caps. If you pry off the caps, you can attach the stand to your desktop using the two screw holes.
